]]>We’re so excited to inform our readers there are now Vegan ice cream options at Woolworths. You’ve read that correctly, Vegan Ice cream! Cornetto and Magnum released Vegan ice cream and we’ve had to try both of them out. Here’s how the boxes look like:

The Vegan Cornetto box contains 4 Ice creams whilst the Vegan Magnum has 3. The Magnum actually has 2 types of flavours, the Classic and the Almond. I decided to buy the Almost for new. As mentioned before you can order them from most Woolworth stores. They are a bit pricey (Cornetto is $9 and the Magnums are $7) compared to the dairy ice cream but I’m not complaining! On the contrary, I’m over the moon since this is a little treat to have at parties.

When I unboxed both the Cornetto and the Magnums they were much smaller in size to your normal ice creams. Here’s how the Vegan Magnum Almond looks like unwrapped

And here’s the Vegan Cornetto looks like when unwrapped

Overall they were both delicious and we are so glad they are dairy free. Please note they both have hazelnuts.

]]>Did you know you can use the Hungry Jacks vouchers to buy the Vegan burger meals? Yes, Vegans can certainly save a bit of $ by either using the digital or printed vouchers from the official HJ website (click here) or the Hungry Jacks mobile app. The voucher deal I normally use is the 2 Small Whopper meals which include 2 Flame-grilled whopper, 2 Small Chips and 2 Small Drinks. You can replace the 2 Whoppers with the Vegan burgers without any extra charges. I also change one of the drinks to OJ (orange juice) but in some locations they actually you charge you for this change (boo hoo!!)

Here’s an example of the voucher. Note the Vegan Cheeburger small meal is already $10.20, so if you use this voucher you save $12.70 – that’s a GREAT DEAL!):

If you’re only after the burger, then you can get the 2 for $7.95 deal where you can replace the 2 Whoppers with 2 Vegan Burgers. Considering the Vegan burgers are already costs $6.90, you’re saving $5.85 if you get 2 burgers :

]]>The answer is YES, Oreo original cookies are actually Vegan-friendly. So if you’re in need of a chocolate and sugar hit then go out and get yourself a packet. There are also other flavours you may want to try as well like the Oreo Chocolate, Oreo Choc Split, Oreo Strawberry.

Please note any Oreo with chocolate coating will have milk in it so don’t try those. You may also want to try other flavours like berry and one last thing, I know this is going to be hard but eat in moderation.

]]>Back in June 2018, I was excited to try the Hungry Jack’s Vegan burger and here’s my honest review. It tasted very similar to the Veggie burger but the only difference was they added the Vegan cheese which to be honest I couldn’t really taste. The Vegetable patty was the same you would find in the Veggie burger but just recently, Hungry Jack’s added 2 patties to the Vegan Burger. Yes, you read that right – 2 patties.

Here’s a picture of the current burger (picture taken as of 21st August 2018):

The previous Vegan burger (June 2018) when it was first released came with only 1 patty. Maybe people complained that just adding the Vegan cheese was not value for money and then they added 2 patties.

We contacted Hungry Jack’s and they confirmed that “based on feedback decided to add an extra patty. Pretty tasty!” It is definitely tastier having the two patties in the burger.

Here are a few pictures of when the Vegan Burger was first released at George Street Sydney Australia:

The Hungry Jack’s Vegan Burger is being trialled only at selected stores and we have confirmed the list with Hungry Jack’s.

Victoria

Kingsway

Melbourne Central

Hoddle Street

Michael’s Cnr

Southern Cross

Elizabeth Street

Spencer Street

NSW

Pitt and Park

George Street

Circular Quay

Darlinghurst

Glendenning

Sylvania

I have no doubt this trial will be successful and it will be rolled out to all stores. You can help by going to one of those stores and simply buy the Vegan burger as they are probably tracking to see how many people are purchasing this burger.

]]>For those of you who live in the Melbourne area go and check out the Big Vegan Market. The event is held on the 12th and the 13th of May 2018 from 10am – 6pm (yes over 2 days and double yes it is held on the Mother’s day weekend). So why not take your mum out to this event and spoil her by getting her some Vegan goodies. The event is held at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne and there will be over 200 vendors present. NOTE: There is a cost of a $2 entry fee.
If you do plan on going there, please take some photos and we will share it with the rest of the Veggie Meals community.

For those of you who recently purchased either the Sugar Free Dark Chocolate 100g or the Sugar Free Dark Chocolate with Almond and Cranberry 100g from Coles, please note they are NOT VEGAN. Coles recently recalled these products as they had incorrect labelling. They both contain dairy but were not labelled on the packaging and therefore makes them NOT SUITABLE FOR VEGANS which is contrary to their current labelling stating they are suitable.

veggiemeals ARE THE CHUPA CHUPS STRAWBERRY AND CREAM FLAVOUR VEGAN?https://www.veggiemeals.com.au/are-the-chupa-chups-strawberry-and-cream-flavour-vegan/

]]>I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately, the Chupa Chups Strawberry and Cream Flavour are NOT Vegan. I came across one today and thought I’d just check the ingredients and noticed the label mentions that it Contains Milk. Apparently, the other flavours are fine to consume for Vegans, so don’t be too disappointed.

]]>For those of you who love eating Vegan burgers, then you’re in luck. Soul Burger seems to be giving away $10 of free credit every month if sign up for their newsletter. Once you sign up you will receive the $10 credit. For the month of April, you can use the code ZBDX994 on the mobile app and receive the $10 credit. Just search for “Soul Burger” on iTunes App Store or on Google Play.

On Monday’s, Soul Burger also have $10 burgers between 11AM and 4PM so why not spend it on Monday and get a free lunch! Just order in store and then pay using the Soul Burger mobile app.

Thanks to Soul Burger for looking after the Vegan and Vegetarian Community.

]]>If you love snacking here’s a Vegetarian and Vegan product we just tried the other day – it’s called Vege Chips Deli Crisps LENTIL chips with lightly salted flavour. It’s Gluten Free and has 85% LESS SATURATED FAT with no hidden nasties. It’s an Australia Made product and as the name suggests, it’s made out of lentils.

For those of you who don’t know what Lentils are the packet gives this explanation: “Lentil grown on a bushy annual plant of the legume family. Lentils have been consumed by people in Asia for over 10,000 years. Canada is the largest export producer of lentils in the world.” There you go, you’ve learnt something new today.

INGREDIENTS

– Potato Starch

– Lentil Flour

– Sunflower Oil

– Sea Salt

– Curcumin

TASTE TEST

When we first tried it we thought we were just eating “thick paper”, it was bland – there was no real taste to them. My daughter even mentioned, “It’s like eating nothing”. But that’s one of the good things about this Lentil chips, when you know there’s not taste it means there are NO artificial colours, NO artificial flavours, NO artificial preservatives, NO nuts, NO SOY, NO Eggs, NO GM ingredients and it’s Gluten Free (meaning it’s REALLY HEALTHY).

The total fat per servings is only 4.0g, whilst some other brands of original chips has 15.7g of fat. From a health perspective, there’s a good reason to sacrifice the taste for the amount of fat.

For those that have allergies, this is the perfect chips and you can even use them with your favourite dips. So go on, try them out and remember everyone has different preferences on taste so there will be some people who may not particularly like the ‘no flavour’ taste but some are willing to sacrifice the taste over their health.

]]>We attended our first Sydney Vegan Market and it was pretty awesome to see a community of Vegans and Businesses coming together. This was the first time the Sydney Vegan Market was held the new location 142 Addison Road, Marrickville. Apparently, it was a bigger area and had more shade compared to the previous location. The event is held every first Saturday of the month.

We went there at around 10AM (we thought it was better to be early to avoid parking and missing out on the Vegan food) the car park was full and we had to find street parking which was about 6 minutes away from the Markets. When we got to the entrance we were greeted with these two signs:

Our first stop was taste testing the Tofu Feta it tasted pretty good but we didn’t realise it had onion or garlic.

We moved along and saw a stall selling shirts which was pretty Vegancool. It has the message Fook Speciesism.

We saw a stall that was selling pastry at the Greek Vegan Bakery:

As we kept walking from one stall to another we came across some karma cookies from raw vibes:

There was also another stall called Spiralz selling Raw Organic Fermented Vegetables:

We were quite thirsty so we decided to get some cane juice from Tall Grass Cane Juice:

As we kept walking from one stall to another we came across some sweets:

We were starting to feel a bit hungry so we purchased this from the Vegan Lebanese Food Stall:

There were quite a few stalls to go through and it did get busier:

We kept moving along and came across a stall that was selling Vegan Sausage Rolls – we couldn’t try it because it had onion in it:

We were getting a bit hungry so we got this Vegan Popcorn chicken from Vegan Thai Street Food and it tasted so good:

There were also other dishes they were selling Choo Chee Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Satay Chicken Skewers (all served with rice):

They all looked so tasty but we decided to go with the Sweet and Sour Chicken and we loved it:

For dessert we decided to get a Vegan Doughnut from Houghnuts:

There were other options too like these great looking Vegan cupcakes, but we didn’t get a chance to try it – maybe next month:

There was a stall selling fresh Coconuts too:

We also came across these great looking food from Koshari Korner but we were too full so we didn’t try any:

We also saw these cool flip flops:

There’s plenty of space and there’s even a chill out area with some live music in the background:

On the way out we couldn’t resist ourselves and we got an Acacia Beach Bowl:

Overall it was a great Vegan market with a variety of food and a great atmosphere. We will hopefully go again soon so we can try out more food.
